I Don't Want To Clean My Room by Hope Vestergaard A Mess of Poems About Chores

Kids come up with all kinds of excuses for not doing their chores. But once-boring jobs will become a treat once children and parents read this book of bouncy poems. With a little imagination, doing the laundry can inspire a song and dance, and sweeping the floor can turn into a hockey match. Accompanied by playful illustrations, the sixteen poems in this book reveal that even the most mundane activities can be an opportunity for fun and family bonding.
